ASTM D7617 is a test method that measures the transverse shear strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in laboratory conditions. It applies to both smooth round rods and bars with textured or patterned surfaces designed to improve bonding with Portland cement concrete. The results can be used for material specifications, quality control, quality assurance, research and development, and may also serve as a basis for structural design.
